Post Malone has made a significant impact in Nashville, leading to a star-studded lineup on his new country album “F-1 Trillion.” The album features a diverse array of artists, including icons like Dolly Parton and Hank Williams Jr., established stars such as Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton, and current chart-toppers like Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs. This expansive project contains 18 tracks, with only three not featuring guest artists, alongside nine solo bonus tracks that were released unexpectedly shortly after the album debut.
The album’s music videos and lyrics strongly reflect traditional country themes, showcasing imagery of pickup trucks, beer, and American flags, particularly in the lead single “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen. The lyrics explore relatable topics such as relationships, nightlife, and everyday experiences.
Originally from Texas, Post Malone transitioned from a singer to a globally recognized rapper and has increasingly embraced acoustic performances in recent years. His efforts in the Nashville music scene have yielded positive responses, with collaborators praising his talent and authenticity.
The production of “F-1 Trillion” is mainly handled by his longtime associates Louis Bell and Charlie Handsome, who have worked with major pop and hip-hop artists. Despite their backgrounds not being deeply rooted in country music, Post Malone has ensured that the songwriting features contributions from some of Nashville’s most prominent songwriters.
Notable collaborators include Ashley Gorely, recognized by Variety as the 2023 Hitmakers Songwriter of the Year, and Ernest, a significant figure within the Nashville music community. Additionally, James McNair and Chandler Walters, along with seasoned writers Chase McGill and Josh Thompson, add their talents to the album.
The complete songwriting credits accompany the album, underscoring the collaborative effort that has shaped this entry into the country genre.
